Friday was a bad day in Washington
By Howard J. Warner
Friday, Jan. 25 will be remembered by Trump-supporters as the day he caved on the wall. By agreeing to fully open the government for three weeks without any wall money, Trump has angered many supporters, who will vilify him to the detriment of their own cause.
Trump is under the kind of swampy pressure few could survive. This happened only hours after his friend Roger Stone was arrested by the FBI. With the air traffic control system starting to impact transportation, the political pressures were enormous for the White House.
The upcoming Super Bowl game was likely an underlying factor, as the rich and powerful would have trouble getting to the annual extravaganza. With the press working overtime to blame President Trump for the shutdown, he was at a disadvantage. But his willingness to accept responsibility in the Oval Office was his own doing.
The vote in the Senate on Thursday demonstrated that Trump has a weakening defense line. The nation does understand that Trump favors border security. This fight is about not money, but defeating Donald Trump. On Friday, it appears that Pelosi and Schumer garnered the first battle win of 2019.
